Syracuse Shootout Gear Sightings

ILGear.com and ILPreps roll together on some weekends, and this past weekend, this writer pulled double-duty at the Syracuse Shootout, the recruiting tournament put on by the Syracuse University coaching staff and held on the southern campus near Manley Field House.

It's an event that draws just about every college coach in New York and many from throughout the Northeast and plenty of Division I coaches from out of the area. A tremendous opportunity to catch some of the rising talent coming up the ranks, the event draws a great number of teams from all over the country and even Canada.

But all gear lovers should appreciate this photo dump, which includes shots of several of the cool custom team unis and helmets seen at the Syracuse Shootout. Some teams had complete kits, and you should keep your eyes peeled for those to appear soon on ILGear.com.

Cortland coach Steve "Beef" Beville's CNY Arrows teams, a 2013 and a 2014 team, went undefeated at the Syracuse Shootout, fielding some of the best upcoming or already-established players in Section III. Here, Jamesville-DeWitt goalie Joe Shapiro models the CNY Arrows tourney uni.

The Burning River Lacrosse program out of Ohio. Notice the Chipotle sponsorship spot on the lower back. Yum. Love beans. Need beans.

One of my favorite helmets from Western NY, this is the helmet worn by St. Francis.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes had several teams at the Syracuse Shootout. This is a crew from New England.

The Syracuse Shootout was held in the heart of SU Athletics. Football players were getting ready for their summer workouts while lacrosse players and their families took over south campus.

Iroquois Nationals U19 defender Jesse Jimmerson (Salamanca '13) was rocking his custom Iroquois gear, including the beautiful Cascade CPX-R the Nationals will be wearing in Finland. Jimmerson had to hop right on a plane after competing at the Shootout with Iroquois Western Door to get over to Europe.

Jimmerson showing us the custom Nike Vapor Elite gloves. So sick.

This fiesty member of the Iroquois Western Door team was fired up to be wearing this custom Syracuse Cascade Pro7 lid from the 2011 season.

The Iroquois Western Door team convinced me that the whole team should get to pose for ILGear.com. These guys were fun to watch, and were characters, too.

The Raging Rhinos program out of Michigan had some of the more eye-catching kits at the Syracuse Shootout.
